    Scanning for Ideas: A Video and Audio Repeater for Digital Signs

    Aug. 21, 2008
    Designers at SVSi, Madison, Ala. (www.southernvisionsystems.com), have made it easier for companies to send audio and video signals to digital signs or HDTVs.

    The technology, dubbed Volante, lets a single transmitter deliver sound and sights to an unlimited number of displays over unlimited distances, and the entire delivery system can be housed in a standard desktop PC. Signals travel over standard Cat5e cable.
